Thanks for the great shots from the Sunday night event - Roni, Margo and I were unable to make it back out to the Westward Look for that event.
You did an amazing job on the table displays - I will have to rely on another great DVD from BlueCap for more on the event!
BTW - I had a "Gail on the job" moment when I snapped this shot of Dave Wilber reading under the orange trees at the InnSuites! ;-p

Thanks Robyn, I have photos of the three of you yet to post...I really enjoyed gabbing with the girls, so to speak !!!
Nice photo of Dave, by the way.
I dedicate my next section of photos to Roy "Digger" Lee, a very special and kind man who passed away just before the Tucson show. I will miss him greatly. You will see photos of him in my last year's Tucson report.
Here's to you my friend!

...Something to know...wear white cotton gloves to put minerals in cases, no fingerprints! Put a rug in front of the case, for your aching legs and back as well as helping a mineral from bouncing on the concrete floor.
Bring windex and a cloth, not paper towels...too much lint.
We bring a hot glue gun for those pieces that won't stay put. A little 'tack" is not a bad idea either.
Bring some marriage counselors if you are both involved in setting up the case, it can't hurt!
